***The Official OcUK Lego Thread***

I have done that the last 2 series and it cost me £2.20ish a figure as well. No hassle, no trying to get swaps etc. Unless it's a knight or soldier of some sort then I army build for my sons castle stuff.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah I think I might go for that too.

There's a few exceptions (Buzz but no Woody, for example) that make me think this is just the start...

 

[dannyjo22]

Definitely just the start, I wish they would do it for Marvel characters too!

What when they can sell you a set for £50 with a just one or two

Why did they do 18 figures? Now they don't fit in the official display cases

Good for his mum letting him buy it, quite against the idea that boys have to have certain toys and girls different ones.

I mentioned to my GF that I was never happy buying girl toys for my eldest, now 14. I wasn't sure about repeating the process for my youngest, 3. I don't want her conditioned into babies and housework. My GF replied "Does your eldest do the dishes? Pick up the hoover?"

Point.

Got these from auction today, might have got a bit carried away at £65, but they are sealed and in good nick

I had all of those as a kid. Defintely cost a lot less than £65 back then!

Some of my favorite sets are the original classic Space.

 

[Charlatan]

Ouch. I had shedloads of the old Space Lego, gave them all to a mate years ago for his lad. Can't believe how much they are worth

Will you keep boxed or display completed?

They would only go up in value if sealed. Please keep them sealed!

Just ordered the Maze set with the free Mr. Freeze minifig offer. Used some VIP points so only cost me £24.99 in the end

I actually think it's pretty overpriced compared to other Ideas sets, but it's one I wanted so

 

[Haze]

God no, they won't be opened you must be joking

 

[DJDaz]

God no, they won't be opened you must be joking

I don't get that. Basically you've spent £65 on some boxes if you don't even open them.

Lego is for playing display. Not for making profit

You were right first play. Lego is for playing.

I have those along with loads more space lego from that era in the loft with instructions. Must dig them out but well worth the money imo.

Bought myself the Ghostbusters Ecto 1 set yesterday. Really enjoying building it at the moment so may pick up the HQ tomorrow.

I built mine yesterday, it was a very good build, nicely displayed on my shelf now

Well considering the age they are now and the fact they are worth £60 he's hardly going to become a millionaire
